Wheel locks for stock rims?

I know they are ONLY stock rims...but lets face it...they look pretty aftermarket-ish. Anybody scared of gettin their stock rims jacked? Anyone have wheel locks?

They're lightweight Enkei wheels. I'd lock em up.

Things don't work. Get a good alarm instead. Once had wheels stolen....locks were removed and left setting there.....wheels were gone.

wheel locks do work except some times if peopel really realy wants ur rims and all they will go out and buy lots of lock keys and ish, i personally have a 4 wheels locks on each rim, cause i'm not taking a chance with mine, plus my stock oz rims had them one from the dealer, he put them on every car because peopel were comign in at night and actually stealing them!!!

I don't think any semi serious wheel theif would be without a good set of all major wheel locks. Not to mention if you over tighten the other lugs a fair amount you can prolly just spin the lock free. Wish there was a way

Not to be paranoid or something, but I have two different wheel locks on each stock wheel that the dealer gave me plus my summer rims have 4 wheel locks on each wheel, but even with all those locks thiefs can take them any time they want,

bastards

How about a motion detected camera that activates when someone comes near your car.

Wheel locks can easily be removed with a strip bolt and battery powered drill. No amount of locks can stop it, only a locking center cap can protect you. I had some wheel locks that I lost the key to, I bought some strip bolts that fit over the wheel locks and they came off in under 30 seconds.
